Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Infrastructure‐led development in rapidly urbanizing economies often generates accessibility gains that fail to translate into balanced urban outcomes, particularly when local fiscal institutions redirect those gains toward revenue‐generating land uses. Filling this gap, especially in fiscally constrained county‐level cities where land finance

Options for reshaping the railway [PDF]
In many countries the mismatch between what the railways offer and what the customers want has caused significant economic inefficiency and severe financial strains for the railways and their government owners.

Small, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The rapid expansion of the Internet of Things (IoT) and wearable electronics necessitates sustainable power sources to replace the limited electrochemical battery. While mechanical energy harvesting offers a promising solution, traditional harvesters face challenges of irregular and low−frequency environmental sources. This review presents the

Greenway development and gentrification
Southern Economic Journal, EarlyView.Abstract This paper presents research on expanding access to green spaces in developed areas. Critics claim greenway projects lead to gentrification by increasing the demand for housing and pushing out residents in nearby neighborhoods. We look for evidence of this phenomenon using a sorting model and panel data on aggregate populations in Atlanta ...

Canada, Railway Transportation Network
, 1984 Contained within the 5th Edition (1978 to 1995) of the National Atlas of Canada is a map that shows the railway network in January 1981: rail lines for each of 30 operators, classed by type and by status (whether line is in use, under construction or abandoned), and also railway ferries and railway tunnels. As well, the map indicates the settled region

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT George Herbert Mead is an oft forgotten or ignored American philosopher who was one of the originators of pragmatism. Today, he is recognised as a creative thinker who has teased out knotty problems that others in the field had not realised were problems. Understanding Mead's analysis has been made difficult because he died prematurely without

Economies of Scope in European Railways: An Efficiency Analysis [PDF]
In the course of railway reforms in the end of the last century, national European governments, as well the EU Commission, decided to open markets and to separate railway networks from train operations. Vertically integrated railway companies – companies

steel research international, EarlyView.Surface reconditioning through mechanical and electrochemical polishing is shown to extend the fatigue life of predamaged 42CrMo4 steel by over 12 times. By removing ≈100 μm of surface material, surface‐driven fatigue damage is mitigated. This study introduces a reuse potential metric to evaluate fatigue recovery and support sustainable steel reuse. To

steel research international, EarlyView.The study investigates the reoxidation behavior of DRI pellets (Midrex and H2‐reduced) under realistic conditions, considering the test parameters of temperature, humidity, storage duration, particle size (including fine fraction), and container geometry. The samples are analyzed based on mass changes.
